You may have seen John Freightenburgh's Pizza Rig -- a portable, outdoor wood-fired pizza wagon -- in action during the past few years, mostly in the Fayetteville-Manlius area.

Now the concept is getting a permanent home: Ironwood Restaurant, 145 E. Seneca St., in the heart of the village of Manlius.

Look for it to open next week.

Ironwood will be a sit-down restaurant featuring pizzas made in a wood-fired oven, organic salads, plus craft beers and wines. One example of the type of toppings on the menu: prosciutto and arugula, with fresh parmesan cheese, drizzled with a balsamic reduction.

Pizza toppings will change frequently, and will be listed on a chalkboard.

All the pizzas will be 12-inch and "as close to Neopolitan pizza as anybody does,"
Freightenburgh said, citing the clasic thin-crust style from Italy.

In lots of ways, it's not a typical Central New York pizza parlor.

"No takeout, no deliveries, no slices," Freightenburgh said.

Once it get started, later next week, Ironwood will be open 4 to 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday. It will be open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday for brunch, featuring breakfast pizzas, a loaded baked potato pizza and similar items.
